Kadyrov: It’s ‘still too early’ for Russia to retaliate for the Kremlin drone strike
Chechnya head Ramzan Kadyrov wrote on his personal Telegram channel that Russia “needs to respond” to the organizers of yesterday’s drone attack on the Kremlin, but “not today, not tomorrow.”
Kadyrov believes that the drone attack was a “provocation and a cause to take larger scale action,” including, for example, “massive carpet bombing” of Ukraine’s cities. In his post, the head of Chechnya praises Russian president Vladimir Putin’s “restraint and wisdom” for “not giving into this vile provocation.”
He noted that those involved involved in the attack will suffer a “just, deserved punishment,” but that it’s “still early” for that, since “justice in global society today is buried by the interests of the aggressor country, the only one of its kind in the world, which has for years been bending other countries’ institutions of independence, interests, and rights to its will.”
Kadyrov said that Russia’s task is to “restore global institutions of justice,” after which “there will be a full-fledged call from every participant, executor, and organizer.”
“Therefore, today, the provocation must not and will not change the planned course of the special military operation. Yes, it was an attack on the president, and therefore on the state, and, it follows, on all the people of the Russian Federation. But that must not influence our thought-out plans and interests. Of course there will be retribution. And it will have a surgeon’s and a jeweler’s accuracy,” Kadyrov concluded.
